Synergistic enhancement of vinyltriethoxysilane and layered Mg–Al double hydroxide on the tracking and erosion resistance of silicone rubber

It is of great significance and challenge to efficiently improve the tracking and erosion resistance of silicone rubber along with the growing requirements in the field of outdoor high voltage insulation. In this work, we herein proposed an effective way to address this issue by incorporating vinyltriethoxysilane (ViTES) and layered Mg–Al double hydroxide (LDH) into high temperature vulcanized silicone rubber (HTVSR). ViTES/LDH notably enhanced the tracking and erosion resistance of HTVSR. With addition of 3.33 phr ViTES and 5.00 phr LDH, the anti-tracking performance of HTVSR reached the 1A 4.5 level, and the eroded mass was merely 0.3%. The results of scanning electron microscopy and equilibrium swelling showed that ViTES substantially improved the interfacial interaction between HTVSR and LDH and the crosslinking density of HTVSR, and enhanced the dispersion of LDH sheets in the HTVSR matrix. The possible synergistic suppression mechanism of ViTES/LDH on the tracking and erosion of HTVSR was further studied and demonstrated by the plasma irradiation analysis, thermogravimetry and thermogravimetry-Fourier transform infrared spectrometry. It was indicated that under the high voltage arcing discharge, LDH facilitated the formation of a dense barrier layer consisting of bimetal mixed oxides on the HTVSR surface, exerting outstanding lamellar barrier effect. The further degradation and the generation as well as development of electrical tracking were efficiently suppressed. Our findings provided a new approach to fabricate silicone rubber with excellent tracking and erosion resistance.

基于泰尔指数的盈利能力差异性测度研究

盈利能力是商业银行稳健性的重要保证。资产收益率(ROA)是衡量商业银行盈利能力的一个重要指标,但其无法直接衡量不同类型银行间盈利能力的差异性,也无法直接体现盈利能力差异不同影响因素的贡献度。基于此,本文的主要工作是在资产收益率的基础上,利用泰尔指数构造了单位资产收益率泰尔指数(ROUAT)与人均收益率泰尔指数(ROPPT)两个指标,用来测度商业银行盈利能力的差异性,并对中国13家上市商业银行2006~2015年的财务数据进行实证。实证结果表明:国有控股银行盈利能力的组内差异远大于股份制银行的组内差异,也大于国有控股银行和股份制银行的组间差异。通过对单位资产收益率泰尔指数(ROUAT)与人均收益率泰尔指数(ROPPT)对比,进一步发现人均收益率差异比单位资产收益率差异表现更为突出,说明现阶段银行的员工人数比银行的总资产对银行盈利能力的影响大。本文的主要贡献是利用泰尔指数和资产收益率构造了单位资产收益率泰尔指数和人均收益率泰尔指数两个指标,解决了不同分组下的商业银行的盈利能力差异性的测度问题,解决了差异性影响因素的贡献度问题,盈利能力差异性的测度为相关部门的政策制定提供参考。     

Design of a rate- and time-programming drug release device using a hydrogel: pulsatile drug release from κ-carrageenan hydrogel device by surface erosion of the hydrogel

We have found that a repetitive pulsatile drug release with a certain time interval is observed from a monolithic hydrogel device by surface erosion of the hydrogel. As a model system of pulsatile drug release, dibucaine hydrochloride and κ-carrageenan hydrogel were chosen as a drug and a device, respectively. Electrostatic interactions between dibucaine hydrochloride and κ-carrageenan polymer segments are strong, since dibucaine hydrochloride is positively charged and each disaccharide repeating unit of κ-carrageenan chains has one sulfate group. Dibucaine hydrochloride was loaded into the hydrogel by immersing dry κ-carrageenan hydrogel disks in a dibucaine hydrochloride solution for 24 h. The pulsed release of dibucaine hydrochloride from the device was observed every 50 min between 30 and 250 min after the release starts. The weight of κ-carrageenan hydrogel decreases in an oscillatory manner with time in distilled water. The oscillatory changes observed in the hydrogel weight in distilled water are considered to be caused by influx and efflux of water molecules into and from the surface and core of the hydrogel and by polymer liberation from the hydrogel. This phenomenon was well explained by our kinetic model [Colloids and Surfaces B 8 (1996) 93–100]. The time interval between pulses observed in drug release coincides with that observed in the oscillatory weight change of the hydrogel. From these, it was concluded that the pulsatile release of dibucaine hydrochloride from the device was caused by the pulsatile liberation of swollen κ-carrageenan hydrogel from the surface of the device.     

Investigation on biological properties of tacrolimus-loaded poly(1,3-trimethylene carbonate) in vitro

The drug-eluting stents have been regarded as a milestone in inhibiting the restenosis of coronary arteries. However, adverse reactions caused by bare-metal stents and non-biodegradable polymer coatings may result in some clinical problems. In this study, a new tacrolimus-eluting stent coated with biodegradable poly(1,3-trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) is developed. The structures are characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis, and the wettability is measured by contact angle assay. The biological behaviors are evaluated by the in vitro platelets adhesion test, APTT test, the human umbilical cord artery smooth muscle cells (HUCASMCs), 4′,6-diamidine-2-phenylindole (DAPI) and actin immunofluorescence staining, MTT colorimetric assay. These results show that after blending tacrolimus into PTMC, the anticoagulant behavior is improved, and the adhesion and proliferation of HUCASMCs on samples are inhibited. This work aims to find one kind of surface erosion biodegradable polymers that can be applied as drug-eluting stent coatings.     

Supramolecular Control of Ester Hydrolysis in Poly(ethylene glycol)‐Interlocked Hydrogels

Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)‐interlocked hydrogels were prepared by linking the PEG with α‐cyclodextrins (α‐CDs) threaded onto a PEG chain having ester linkages at the terminals (hydrolyzable polyrotaxane). These hydrogels were examined to clarify the effect of ionic strength of phosphate buffers, pH, and the addition of ethanol on erosion time in relation to inclusion states of α‐CDs with the ester linkages. The most characteristic phenomenon of the hydrogel erosion was observed in an ethanol/PBS cosolvent system: the time to reach the complete erosion time was shortened with decreasing water content. NMR analysis revealed that the ester linkages were exposed to the aqueous environment due to the aggregation of α‐CDs. These results suggest that the movement of α‐CDs in the polyrotaxanes from the terminal ester region to the another region gives the ester linkages a chance to interact with water.

考虑税收因素的供应链融资策略研究

针对由处于不同税区的一个资金受限零售部门和一个制造部门形成的两级供应链,考虑税率差异带来的节税机制,通过建立斯塔克尔伯格博弈模型,分析了税收因素对银行信用融资和商业信用融资下供应链中各融资参与主体的最优决策、融资策略和供应链协调的影响。研究指出,当零售部门具备税率优势时,最优融资策略为银行信用融资;当制造部门具备税率优势且优势较大时,最优融资策略为商业信用融资,反之为银行信用融资。此外,供应链协调程度随制造部门税率优势的增大而增加。文中通过数值分析检验了相关结论,相关研究结论对税收秩序深刻调整背景下供应链中资金受限部门融资策略的选择具有一定借鉴意义。
